Hi Dario
Roaring 40s was a company that went bust a long time ago 2005 ish from memory, (owned by Logan who had many $thousands in deposits) and the remnants bought by another company who were also called Roaring 40s so make sure you are dealing with the legit company. There have been some reports that Robert Logan is back in the car game.
The original Roaring 40s car was a copy of a Tornado.
The second Roaring 40s company was reported to be a stand up company.
No doubt someone will chime in and know about the actual car.
Welcome to the world of GT40s

Hi all, first time commenter long time stalker. I spoke to Robert Logan back in January 2022 and the guy made my skin crawl, he has drastically upped the prices, made no real changes.
He has acquired it back from the parts manufacturer that bought it back in the day.
Upon questions regarding Registration I told him I have grown up around the inspection process and everything but the icv process is common knowledge to me(in an effort to save him some time explaining) this caused him to go off on a rant "all you Aussies are the same, think you know it all and what you don't know you can "she'll be right""
I made nice with him, told him to go ahead and send me the pricing etc(I subsequently deleted it because of his sh!t attitude)
At this point I knew nothing of the guy. Upon further research I found he had bilked a fair few people out of coin, dodged a suit and somehow managed to build a multimillion dollar property on Phillip Island with the assets he "didn't have to repay his customers"
Last I heard he was looking to send some of his personal cars to the u.k which suggests he may be looking to milk more people with the "new" RF gt40 and then p!ss off. But I'm cynical like that.
The long and short of it is to be very very very careful giving money to this bloke. One phone conversation with no previous knowledge made me double take, and im glad I did.
I'm still putting my pennies aside to acquire my dream car, I've decided to aquire it all at once instead of one package at a time.
I'm looking at Absolute Pace, curious to know how people in NSW Australia have gone with that, last I read it's now possible to get icv's done again, do AP make the cut?
I have a brother in QLD with whom I can register the car otherwise, but I'd much prefer NSW registration.
Thanks for coming to my Ted talk, I apologise for hijacking the post. I felt compelled to put my 2c about that bloke incase someone else is searching.
